Indiana University is launching a new tool for students in 2024 to help students plan their path and track their progress toward graduation. The first phase of the Stellic rollout will include students at IU Columbus, IU East, and IU Fort Wayne. Additional campuses will roll onto the platform at later dates.

This new platform helps IU students plan their path and track their progress toward graduation. In Stellic, you can:
All of these features are available through one modern, mobile-friendly interface.
And coming soon, Stellic will allow you to build schedules and register for classes directly through a custom degree map.
In partnership with key academic advising leads, student success leaders, UITS partners, and other stakeholders, IU is evaluating existing tools so we can identify those that will be replaced by Stellic-vended systems. Currently, the following student success technologies are in use:
We know that the iGPS is already slated for replacement as part of this project.
Three campuses have been identified to transition into Stellic in the initial rollout. They are IU Columbus, IU East, and IU Fort Wayne. Additional campuses are expected to follow in two other phases in spring 2025 and fall 2025.
The first phase of the Stellic implementation includes degree advising audits (commonly referred to as AARs or Academic Advisement Reports) and degree pathways (often referred to as degree maps). Degree audits show how courses, as well as transfer, test, or other special credits, apply toward the academic requirements of a major.
Check back later for additional information.
Here are several resources to help you learn more about Stellic and how it works:
Description of the video:
You can get to your Planner by clicking on the Plan your Path tab on the left side bar. It's the third one down from the top. You can also get here by clicking on the second Track Progress tab on the left side bar.
Scroll down to the six tabs and click Planner located above your degree audit. Another way you can get here is through the homepage. Click the Home button, which is the first option on the left side bar. Scroll down to the three white tiles under Quick Access. At the bottom of the second tile labeled Plan, click on the Go to Planner button.
Once you're in the planner, you'll easily be able to toggle between different semesters and see which classes are remaining towards your degree based on your pathway. You can scroll down to the bottom of your planner to the section titled transfer credits, and see which courses count as credits towards your program requirements.
The menu on the far right of your planner, displays three tabs, each giving you different ways to view and plan out your various requirements.
The first tab in this menu is called the tentative list tab. It hosts remaining requirements, a list of only your program requirements that have not been taken or planned. It also includes activities, a section to store any non course requirements that you want to include in your overall academic plan. And then there's courses. This is a good place to store specific courses that could count for electives, or courses you're interested in taking, but not yet sure where they fit into your plan.
The progress tab within the menu on the right of your planner contains all requirements for any programs that you have added, either officially or unofficially to your plan. To the far right of the programs title, you can toggle two different views by clicking on the arrow icons. Compact view gives an overview of requirements in your audit. Expanded view shows all the audit details.
The third tab within the menu on the right is called Search Courses. It allows you to search for courses and filter them, based on cleared prerequisites, a certain semester, an instructor, and much more.
Let's run through each of these options from the sidebar in a bit more detail. In the tentative list tab, remaining requirements will only show courses that still need to be planned based on your pathway. So it's a great place to work from. Placeholders are shown with a dotted line in your planner and indicate that there are multiple course options to choose from for that particular requirement. Clicking on the placeholder brings up a list of possible courses to fulfill the requirement.
You can drag and drop a requirement into your plan. You can also drag courses into your plan through the progress tab. Or add a course directly from the search side bar by dragging and dropping it into a semester within your planner. We'll show an error message if that course isn't usually offered during the term that you've chosen.
Stellic will also show you if a course is unmatched, meaning you've added a course to your plan that doesn't count toward any of your requirements. Remove courses from your plan by hovering over the box representing the course in your plan and clicking the x in the top right hand corner.

In the Stellic home page, which is located in the first tab down on the left side bar, you can view your degree audit and track your progress toward your degree requirements. Scroll down to the three white tiles under quick access. On the first tile from the left titled Track, click the See Progress button, which will take you to your degree audit. You can also get here by clicking on the second tab on the left side bar labeled Track Progress.
You'll then see an overview of your profile. By hovering over the horizontal degree progress bar at the bottom of your profile tile, you can understand your progress at a glance and see where you stand with taken, registered, remaining and unmatched courses.
If you scroll down to the six tabs, starting with one titled Progress, you can access a detailed overview of your progress in two ways. Under Progress, by clicking the button labeled Planned, you can view your audit with classes planned out in Stellic based on your pathway at IU, as well as courses already taken or registered. Or you can click on the button to the left of Planned labeled Official. This view of your degree audit only shows you courses already completed or that you're currently registered for.
Your degree audit provides a wealth of information right at your fingertips. You can toggle between your different programs, such as majors or minors, that you have declared or added to your plan, so you can easily collapse and expand each of these. By scrolling down to the white tile at the very bottom of the page, you'll see any unmatched courses. These are courses that are taken or in plan, but that do not count towards anything in the audit.
If you scroll back up to your degree audit, you can see specific constraints within each category of classes. These are rules for which courses can count. Click the white Constraint box next to the Requirements title to get the details for what can count in that category. Each program will have a breakdown of courses that are taken and planned.
Anything with a red box means the course or requirement still needs to be completed. The numbers in the red box tell you the number of remaining courses for a requirement. Non course requirements are not included in this total.
Yellow single check marks indicate that the course or requirement is in the plan and will be satisfied once completed. Yellow double check marks indicate that the course is currently being taken this term.
Anything with a green check mark means the course or requirement has been completed. These are already taken and passed classes or requirements that are completely fulfilled.
The green chain link icon means the course is double counting with a requirement in another program. Hover over the link symbol for details on where the class is double counting.
At the top of your audit, on the far right, there's a drop down button that gives you the option to view your full audit, a compact version, or just the requirements you have remaining. If you click on the remaining requirements view and then select a remaining requirement within the audit, a side view will appear on the right, displaying course information, as well as a list of eligible courses for that requirement.

You can always view the history of all actions and changes made to your plan by you, your advisor, or other authorized administrators at IU. You can view these changes by going to the third tab under the left side bar labeled Plan your Path. Simply click the clock icon on the far right across from your plan title.
A side bar will pop out showing actions taken on your plan. Using the drop down menu under filter plan actions at the top of this sidebar, you can choose to see actions to your entire plan or actions done only within a certain semester.
You can access the same information through the second tab under the left side bar labeled Track Progress. At the top right of the first white panel that displays your profile information, you will find the same change history icon.

If you click on the third tab labeled Plan your Path from the left side bar, you'll see a registration tile on the semester in your planner for which the schedule is open. By clicking on the Go to schedule button within the registration tile, or by clicking on the schedule icon in the upper right corner of the semester tile, you'll be brought to the schedule view. You can also get to this view by clicking on the Schedule tab in the left side bar.
You'll see a calendar view of courses that you've planned out. Stellic provides several ways for you to build your schedule for the upcoming term, as long as the course schedule has already been released for that term.
You can drag and select a time slot in the weekly calendar view, and Stellic will generate a side window on the right that shows you the courses available during that time frame that are still needed to meet your requirements, and for which you've cleared all the prerequisites.
Another way for you to build your schedule is by clicking the Add Courses button at the bottom of your course list on the right. You can then select the specific course button, which lets you identify a particular course that you're looking for. Or you can hit search courses directly below. A side window will pop out on the right, where you can filter different courses based on cleared prerequisites or the program requirements that they count towards.
To add a course to your schedule, simply scroll down to the courses beneath the filters, and click on the desired course. The course information will then be displayed. Within this view, you'll see a button at the top under the course title that allows you to add the course within a specific term.
Stellic allows you to incorporate co-curricular activities into your schedule as well. In the menu on the right under your plan courses, scroll down to the section labeled Activities. You'll see a button labeled Add Activity. By clicking on this button, you'll be able to fill in the activity name and type, select the day and timing of the activity and hit save activity to add it to your schedule.

Stellic will keep you informed about important updates and actions you need to take, such as whether you have a hold on your account or when it's time to register. We'll let you know when your registration window is open through these colored horizontal banners displayed at the top of your home page, which is located in the tab labeled Home within the left side bar.
When you click the Plan and Register button within the colored banner, you'll be taken to your plan. If you scroll down to your upcoming term, a registration tile will appear within that term when it's time to register. Click on the Go to Schedule button in the registration tile, which will take you to a weekly view of the courses in your plan for that semester.
In the side bar labeled Courses to the right of your weekly calendar view, you'll see that each course you've already registered for is displayed with a green Registered sign. Any courses in your plan that you've not yet registered for are displayed with a yellow Planned sign. If needed, you can always add additional courses by clicking on the Add Courses button, located below your courses within the same menu on the right.
Once you're ready, click the blue horizontal button right above your calendar labeled Confirm Courses for Registration. You'll then see a white pop up window labeled register courses. If you scroll down, you'll see courses for which you've already registered listed under the registered courses section. And any courses you still need to register for will appear near the top in the section labeled Registration Cart.
For each course listed in your registration cart, Stellic will tell you how many seats are available and how many people are on the wait list. This information is displayed towards the middle of the horizontal course display under the course title. You can remove any courses from your cart by clicking the x icon to the far right of the course.
Once everything looks good, scroll down to click on the Complete Registration button, and then you're all set. You'll see a green tag next to the courses you were successfully able to register for. Beneath these courses, you'll see a Back to schedule button. Within the courses menu to the right of your calendar view, you'll see that you're now registered for those courses.
